Say Yes / No to the Internet was part of "The Power of Negative Thinking" nights.

With three different presentations on the subject, Mediamatic hoped to stimulate you and me to break from this positive consensus. We must make negative statements about anything and in this particular case, the web.

The presentations were by Brian McKenna, Roald de Boer and Harm van den Dorpel. This event was hosted by Melanie Bonajo and Kinga Kielczynska.
